In Spanish, adjectives are words that describe nouns.
These adjectives need to match the nouns they describe in two ways:
Gender Agreement:
Masculine nouns usually end with an -o.
For example: "el chico alto" means "the tall boy."
Feminine nouns usually end with an -a.
For example: "la chica alta" means "the tall girl."
Number Agreement:
To make a masculine noun plural, just add an -s.
For example: "los chicos altos" means "the tall boys."
For feminine nouns, you do the same and add an -s.
For example: "las chicas altas" means "the tall girls."
If the adjective ends with a consonant, you add -es for the plural.
For example: "los libros interesantes" means "the interesting books."
